How Enigma and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Riki win 47.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 286 matches.
Pairing Riki with Enigma is a bet on landing one big teamfight combo. The game plan often revolves around Enigma finding a multi-hero Black Hole. Once he commits, Riki gets a perfect setup to unload his damage. He can place Smoke Screen on top of the Black Hole to silence enemies and prevent counter-play, then use Tricks of the Trade to hit everyone caught inside. This turns Enigma's lockdown into a full-blown team wipe. The main challenge is that both heroes need items to be effective, and the strategy is predictable and reliant on that one long cooldown. Until Black Hole is ready, they don't offer each other much.
